We are living in the most polluted environment in the earth’s known history.

We are continually inhaling and assimilating residues from petrochemicals, plastics, and pesticides that occupy cell receptor sites and block hormone utilization. Consider the following statistics:

1600% increase in birth defects since 1980

250% increase in breast cancer since 1980

59% decrease in male sperm count since 1940

500% increase in cancer mortality since 1900

400% increase in heart disease since 1900

All of the above statistics are directly related to the increased exposure to petrochemicals, toxins, heavy metals, and other chemicals in the environment and our foods. While no process or modality can guarantee the prevention of these conditions, it is logical to assume that an ongoing detoxification program – the act of minimizing toxic accumulations in the body – will reduce the incidence of chronic degenerative disease and improve overall quality of life.

Environmental Toxins and Your Health

Why is it doctors now use the term “Early Detection” in place of “Prevention”?

Have we resigned ourselves to an inevitability that we will be diagnosed with a disease? And, perhaps that as we age, we should expect to slow down and have disease over-take us?

Wise use of medication is important and certainly has its place. However, we need to look closely at our current belief systems and the health care system we have created. There are many people in trouble with their health right now. If we want change, we need to examine and probably modify our belief about how health is obtained.

Unfortunately, with the amount of environmental toxins we are now exposed to, we need to take action in order to prevent disease from setting in.

Did you know the following?

Over the last 50 years, over 70,000 chemicals have been introduced into the environment?

Only 3% of the chemicals released have been studied?

Every person on the planet is now polluted with chemicals?

The water supply in 35 of the 50 United States is tainted with chemicals from rocket fuel?

According to the World Health Organization, at least 80% of all cancers are due to environmental toxins and chemicals in our body?

Over their lifetime, each American will ingest or absorb at least 5 pounds of toxic materials!

How do we know what all these chemicals do in our body – whether alone or particularly in conjunction with each other?

Whether it’s from the environment, food we eat, air we breath or water we drink, we are exposed daily to many different toxins. We can reduce our exposure, but we can’t entirely stop toxins from entering our body because there are so many of them polluting our planet. But, we can take measures to prevent damage from occurring in our body!

Virtually all alternative healing approaches make liberal use of detoxification protocols. Detoxifying the body has been a familiar modality to all ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Native American for thousands of years.

In humans, organs such as the kidneys and the large intestine eliminate wastes and toxins, maintaining the internal environment in the most ideal condition. However, there are limitations: If we eat too many poison-producing foods, or not enough of the materials needed to clean out poisons, then our internal environment changes beyond the body’s control. It deviates from the optimum conditions in which our cells can live, and the cells become sick and die. Many illnesses are the body’s attempt to clean up its internal environment. The body secretes and maintains many different types of fluids; the most important is blood, which has a pH level of 7.4 – slightly alkaline. This alkalinity has to be kept almost constant, even minor variations are dangerous. With too acid blood, the heart relaxes and ceases to beat; with too alkaline blood, it contracts and ceases to beat.

In today’s toxic environment, tissue acid wastes, chemical and heavy metal residues build up in the body faster than ever before, resulting in a greater incidence of allergies as well as a whole range of mental and physical ailments. To combat these increasing problems, herbal and homeopathic detoxification programs as well as saunas are being offered by alternative health practitioners.

Most healing traditions offer body purification as a means of healing and as prevention of disease. Pimples, rashes, dark circles under the eyes, swollen joints, yellow, green, and blotched complexions often indicate a buildup of toxic waste products inside the body. Detoxification with the Spa Life Detox Spa have been shown to substantially reduce and even eliminate these conditions. Dietary modification help reduce future accumulations of toxins.

Ever increasing exposure to toxicity in and around us make ongoing periodic detoxification essential in order to maintain health and prevent disease. The Spa Life Detox Health Device, in combination with a healthy lifestyle, provides a thorough and efficient way to high energy levels and promote long term wellness.

Here at Detox, we feel that it is our duty to educate and inform our customers of the hazards that they are in contact with on a daily basis.

It is now up to you to decide if you want to continue being toxic and risk your health and the health of your loved ones, when you now have a natural, drug free, no side effects, healthy alternative.

The Bio-Tox Detoxification Foot Spa is a self-contained ionic water detoxification system that cleanses your body from the inside like no other detox system.

It is easy to use and requires no special training to perform. It is an ion generating device which uses electricity, stainless steel electrodes, salt and water to create a healthy and nourishing ionic bath. It is used to cleanse, balance and enhance the bio-energy at a cellular level in your body. Bio-Tox’s patented automated programming infuses the water with negative and positive ions delivering optimal health benefits to the user.

The Science Behind Ionic Detox Foot Spa

What is the science behind these footbaths, where do the colors actually come from?

To answer this question scientifically, all the influences must be discussed. Basically, all ionic footbaths are based on electrolysis of water. In this process there are five influencing factors: power level, water type, metal plate alloy content, salt type/additives, and the epidermis of the foot.

Power Level: The Bio-Tox’s Unit = 17 Volts

Voltage is a very important part of an effective ionizing process. According to Bohr’s theory at least 13.5 Volts of energy is required to free the electron from its ground state, therefore creating true ionization. It is important to maintain a voltage above this minimum to create a level of ionization that allows for saturation to occur. Low power levels can produce ionization, but these released ions will recombine as fast as they are produced. Creation of them faster than they recombine is essential; you need a regulating and adjustable source of power. Conversely, providing too much power to the bath can create a tunneling effect in which the flow overcomes the amount of alloy plate surface available and the overall electrolysis effect lowers.

BEWARE: Detox Foot Spa machines with less than 13.5 volts do not work!

Water

Most all water that comes from a public tap has its own impurities which due to the electrolysis are separated or recombined from their original state of soluble suspension in the water. Common tap water can contain varying amounts of suspended solids such as sodium, lead, calcium, magnesium, manganese, nickel, chlorine, pesticides, herbicides, barium, boron, cadmium, chromium, copper, fluorine, iron, mercury, sulphates, and organic debris. These impurities are found in very small and safe amounts in tap water. In the presence of electrolysis, these impurities clump together in a visible state. Highly filtered waters such as reverse osmosis, distilled, and drinking often produce much less color and seem to have lower visual activity. These waters are not very conductive for the electrical process and require more salt. They are not the best choice to produce the ionization in the most efficient manner.

Alloy Content

All the array plates, rings, etc. on the market are made of an alloy of stainless steel. To recombine molecules the stainless steel has electrolytic reactions with the actual water, the sea salts, and suspended solids in the water. As the plates break down they recombine with the solids to come out of a soluble state and appear to the eye as debris. The composition of the chosen alloy stains these items and creates a multitude of colors.

Salts/Additives

Salt is an integral part of the process. First of all, it allows for control of the conductivity of the water: more salt equals a greater current; the user can control the rate with the level in the bath. Secondly, its structure allows for the saturation of the bath with ionization. Without the salt, the bath will produce electrolysis but will often not saturate with ionization. Some footbath manufacturers provide salts with minerals added or salts naturally having lots of minerals, this creates many very amazing looking colors above and beyond the colors that naturally occur. This addition of minerals makes the bath very conductive; unfortunately this means very little sea salt is added. With less sea salt there are fewer salt crystals structures in the bath, this can affect overall ionization adversely. Always use a water type and a “non-additive” sea salt combination that allows for the highest production and retention of ions in the bath. Having to add too much salt to a bath to gain the electrolysis process (low power units) can wear out the array plates/rings too quickly.

Epidermis of the Foot

This is where the controversy begins!

There are as many opinions on this as there are manufacturers and users. The items that have been proven through science are discussed above. The epidermis of the foot excretes many organic materials. This occurs whether in a footbath or not. When the foot’s epidermis is in contact with a soluble liquid such as water these excreted materials become soluble themselves and float off into the water. The skin can contain attachments of soaps, creams, and other products introduced to the epidermis by the person. Any naturally released germs, bacteria, funguses, etc., also become soluble. This is akin to bathing, except that with a footbath, these items are altered and then become opaque, clump together, and show different colors. They basically become non-soluble and either float to the top or sink to the bottom of the bath.

The Process

When an ionic footbath array begins the process it attempts to raise the pH of the water from an acidic state to a more alkaline state (acidic items- coca cola, coffee, pesticides, alkaline items-celery, most herbs, and spirulina). pH (potential of hydrogen) is a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The heightened alkalinity of the footbath interacts with the newly soluble items which carry an acidic tendency and neutralizes them in the bath. This is similar to pet odor removers [urine is quite acidic, and the odor product is quite alkaline- they combine and move the wet spot back toward a balanced pH (7.0 is balance between the two)]. This process is also similar to baking soda in a refrigerator. The soda is very alkaline. The smelly oxidative releases of the food breaking down can be absorbed, or neutralized by the soda. This is a simplistic version of the process, with all the above factors involved being variables, each session becomes unique to the location and to the person.

This overview is a very basic attempt to explain complex, chemical, and atomic level reactions that occur in an ionic footbath. If you are more curious, there is a wealth of information out on the internet and at your local library about these processes.

Wash Toxins Away

The soles of the feet, palms of our hands,and armpits are three of the body’s discharge pathways for toxins (hence the odor). The use of antiperspirant blocks one of these pathways, and over time can result in an accumulation of chemicals in the body. The feet are the largest pathway of the body and have been used for centuries to eliminate toxins. Traditionally, feet were placed in salty sand to detoxify. This method was slow and had limitations. The foot bath uses a direct micro-current that is very similar to low voltage electro-stimulation or cold laser – both of which have been proven to increase cellular ATP (stored energy). This increase in energy stimulates the cells to purge toxins at a much higher rate. The warm salt water is used as a conduit for exchanging ions. In other words, the foot bath is like a magnet that energizes the cells and draws out toxic material right before your eyes.

Water, metal, and salt will combine to produce a light water color change, as well as objects in the water even without feet being submerged. The Bio-Tox Foot Detoxification Spa neutralizes toxins in the water the same way it neutralizes toxins in the body. Remember that the body itself has high water content. This is where toxins become isolated. As a general rule, depending on geographical location, about 20-40% of what you see in the water after a foot bath comes from regional toxins in the water. The remaining 60-80 % comes from the client’s body. Color charts are helpful for estimating what toxins are being pulled from the body.From Clear to Sludge in 30 Minutes as Toxins are Extracted from the Body!

Usage Instructions

Insert power cord and array into corresponding jacks on the side of the detox foot spa.

Place the array and your feet into the lined basin filled with ordinary warm tap water.

Turn the power switch on. (Back side of the machine).

NOTE: Do not add salt right away and add the salt slowly in small increments.

IMPORTANT: If too much salt is added to the water the conductivity of the water will be too high due to the high salt content. In this case, discard the water and start over with a fresh batch.

Enjoy your detox session! Sit back and relax for 8 minutes!

Recommended Detox Schedule

The proper duration of one detox session for adults is 8 minutes.

Children under 8 years old should not use the device. Children should not use the device without adult supervision.

Frequency of Use

Adults under 50 years of age: Use once every two days until you have completed 14 treatments. Then take two weeks off to allow your body to rest. Remember, it does take energy to detox your body. After your two weeks of rest, start the same process and once you have finished, you will have completed 28 treatments. Now you can go on a maintenance schedule. Your body will let you know when you need to detox.

Adults 50 years of age and older: Follow the same schedule with one exception – perform your detox sessions every third day instead of every two days.

NOTE: Like everything else, moderation is good and over-indulgence is bad. Do NOT detox for more than three consecutive days and do NOT detox more than two times per day.

Troubleshooting

Check to ensure that the power cord is connected securely.

Ensure that the cords is plugged in correctly to the unit and the arrays are submerged.

The array may be faulty so try using another one. If it is the array, please discard the array and do not attempt to use it again. If it is not the array, it has to be one of the above issues or the motherboard has malfunctioned.

If you have checked all of the above and taken the necessary steps to pinpoint the issue without success, then the mother board may be broken. If you are within the six month warranty window, please contact us to schedule a return for repairs.

If you or your loved ones are suffering from the painful ailment of gout, there may be some relief for you as near as your big toe!

Gout is a variation of arthritis and rheumatism. Uric acid builds up to high levels in the joints causing painful inflammation and joint pain. This condition is usually exacerbated by having a large intake of alcohol, acid forming foods, or red meats. This build up happens over the years and with most individuals the swelling of the big toe perhaps will be the first indication of an elevated uric acid count.

Many cases have been brought to me after trying so many of the pharmaceutical and over the counter (OTC) products. The greatest relief can be found by placing the foot in the ionic foot spa with the hottest possible water the body can handle. After doing this initial short (15-20) foot spa treatment, one should find fresh tart cherry syrup. Take 2 tablespoons in a small glass of water and drink. This should be done 2-3 times a day.

For this particular ailment the foot should not be kept in the spa for more than 15-20 minutes per treatment. This should be done at least 2 times per day. Wear open toe shoes to keep the pressure off the affected area. Do this treatment continually for several weeks and the uric acid should begin to diminish.

A countless number of drugs have been tested to fight toenail fungus, but to no avail due to the often serious side effects of liver and kidney damage. Also, most of the drugs on the market must be taken over very long periods of time. This can become extremely expensive in some cases.

As a natural physician I have seen these kinds of problems over the past fifteen years and can confirmthere is a non-toxic and quite inexpensive method to completely eliminate this nagging problem.

SOLUTION

I have been successful over the years in treating this medical fungal problem by simply placing your feet in an ionic foot bath for 30-60 minutes. After the initial treatment in the foot spa, I advise the patient to trim back the nail as far as possible without causing any pain or drawing blood. Use a nail file to scrape away any remaining dead tissue away onto a disposable sheet. Make sure to carefully dispose of the trimmings.

Apply a couple drops of this mixture under the infected nail 2-3 times per day after using the A12X Power machine. Keep cutting the nail back and don’t forget to clean the dead tissue from under the nail as best you can. When you begin to see new nail growing, stop the treatment and allow the nail to fully grow back. Keep in mind that toe nails generally grow slower than fingernails so be patient while the healthy nail grows back. That being said, this general technique can be applied to your fingernails as well.

It is possible that DMSO and SSKI may not be available in your area. Another alternative tincture to be used is tea tree oil, however I find my solution to be more effective and provide a better chance for complete healing.

REMEMBER

Cleanse and detoxify with a 30+ minute foot spa session

Trim the nail back without causing bleeding or pain

File excess dead skin with a nail file

Apply a few drops of the DMSO and SSKI solution 2-3 times daily

Repeat the steps regularly until new and healthy nail starts growing back

Color charts are helpful for estimating what toxins are being pulled from the body, but it is important to remember that there is a great deal happening that is invisible to the eye.

Chinese acupuncturists understand the concept of regional toxicity as it relates to the ailments that predominate in a given area. Some areas of the country have higher joint complaints, while others report a higher frequency of kidney bladder problems. Could it be that the toxins peculiar to an area gravitate toward a specific part of the body causing it to break down.
